Beauty: Summertime Protection

Dear Readers,

It has been some time since I have posted, but I have been flying around town with all of my important social engagements. But fear not, dear reader...I have not forgotten you.

To-day's lesson will be a pithy one. I want to remind you about the importance of protecting your loveliness by the wearing of sun protection. Why look like you have been outside in the sun all day, like some laborer? You want you skin to be smooth and delicate as you gracefully age, not tough and leathery. My dear, a quick delight at the resort will last even longer if you wear a hat and your protection cream. Advertise to the world your life of leisure by the care of your skin, not by the undesirable darkening of it. Anyone who is "in the know" will know you were in the Hamptons anyway.

Until next time...

HF
